--- Comment #1 from John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> ---
Presumably in this case all the permissions of regular files are also kind =
of
whacky for said NFS root?  That is, binaries like /bin/ls are owned by a ra=
ndom
user ID and not root:wheel when accessed remotely?  I think in the vast
majority of cases this check is useful and gives a better error than an obs=
cure
permission error later in the process.  We could add a new flag to permit
running as non-root.
